Mirror laptop to Smart TV

I have just purchased a 65" Samsung LED Smart TV and I would like to wirelessly MIRROR my laptop screen to this TV. I have looked at Chromecast and Miracast, but they are mainly for smart phones. My laptop has a 10" screen and I would like to mirror my laptop to my TV screen, via a wireless network, so when I am working on a Word or PowerPoint presentation, I can see it on the new 65" display!

From what I have read all over the net and via youtube, Chromecast will display Movies, Music, their apps, and the web browser Google Chrome, but I have been unable to find anything about mirroring just the computer screen. If you know something different on how to accomplish this, please let me know and I will spend the $35.00.

You might be disappointed by wireless lag time or if you lower the stream quality so the lag isn't so bad, of course the picture is going to suffer all the more, exactly where and when you would like it to be perfect for such a large screen.

I don't suppose you have an HDMI port on the laptop though. That's the way to go if you do, its instant and as high quality as it can get (unless you have a 4K TV). The trade off for perfection is the long HDMI cable.

It worked just fine at highest streaming setting on my 42" TV. Granted the OP has a 65" monster but ChromeCast is so cheap (I paid $29 for mine) that it's worth a try for the wireless freedom IMHO. HTH

Do you get 1080P? The video I watched suggested setting it to 480P if lag or buffering, which seemed to imply it was only starting at 720P. A computer screen looks pretty bad at 720P on a big screen, video still looks ok though. I use the big screens for all sorts of computer interaction so it just might be I'm too much of a stickler on this subject as well. For occasional use it's probably no big deal.

Chromecast does and will work on any TV! I purchased a book called "UNLOCK the power of your CHROMECAST" (February 2014 edition) by Aaron J. Halbert, and he "shows the way" to get ALL of the benefits from the Chromecast device! Well worth the $8.00!
